COMPACT CASE Application mea March 14, 1930. serial No. 435,683.

This invention relates to improvements in compacts and more particularly to double compacts made of metal, that is, compact cases carrying both a face powder and a rouge tablet.

A particular object of my invention has been to provide a novel form of compact, that is, in which both tablets will be simultaneously exposed when the case is opened,

l0 and access to either tablet may be had with equal freedom.

Further objects of the invention will be apparent from the description and drawings in which Fig. 1 is a top plan view of my improved case.

Fig. 2 is a side view with the cover partially cut away.

Fig. 3 is a front view.

Fig. 4 is a sectional View along the line 4 4 of Fig. 1. y

Fig. 5 shows the case with the cover open and the compartments in exposed and extended position.

Fig. 6 is a sectional view 6-6 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 7 is a sectional view with the cover open.

Fig. 8 is a side view showing my improved compact case open.

Fig. 9 is a side view of the opposite side of the case also open.

10 comprises the base portion and lower half of the casing, 11 comprising the upper half, 12 being a hinge of conventional form.

It should be here noted that the base 10 on one side thereof has the wall 10a which is absent on the opposite side of the base so as to permit the entry and egress of the container 13. The base member 10 has a front wall 10b to which is attached a horizontal partition 1G below which normally rests part of the container 13 and above which normally slides the other container 14. The container 13 is pivoted at 18 to the partition 16 and is provided with a spring 18 so that normally the container 13 is in. an extended or open position. The container 14 is pivoted to the partition 16 at 19 and is provided 50 with a spring 19', the container 14 also bealong the line ing kept normally extended or in the open position'by the spring 19. The wall 10b is provided with a spring latch 15 cooperating with a catch on the underside yof the front wall of the upper casing 11. The containers 13 and 14 are in use provided with Acompact cakes of rouge and powder respectively,`upon which rest powder rpuffs P and P as shown in Fig. 5. Toclose this ycontainer, the Lmembers 13 and 14 are pushed toward each other and then the cover 11 is inserted over same,l the cover 11 having' the walls 17 serve to keep the members 13 and 14`conned within the compact case.

It should be noted that the upper casing 11 has side walls extending to the base of the casing 10 so as to completely enclose the members 13 and 14 when the compactcase is in a closed position.

It is apparent that further variations may be made from this construction without departing from the spirit of my invention, which has for its principal object the provision of a container' in which the two compact holders will be normally exposed immediately when the cover of the case is lifted. Y

A mirrorV is fastened on the inside of the cover of the member 11 so that at all times the compact carrying members 13 and 14 and the mirror will be simultaneously on view.

Having fully described my invention what l claim is: n Y

1. In a compact case a base portion, an upper portion defining a rectangular con tainer in combination with the base portion, two circular compact carrying members mounted within the body of said case, and spring means attached to said circular members to simultaneously release said-compact carrying members when the cover of said case is opened.

2. In a compact case a base portion and an upper portion defining a' rectangular container, compact carrying members carried within said case, and spring means attached to said compact carrying members to simultaneously bring said compact carrying members into View when the cover of said case is opened.

3. In a compact case a base portion and an upper portion defining a rectangular container, compact carrying members carried Within said case, and spring means adapted to simultaneously bring said compact carrying members into View and to move same in opposite directions When 'said cover is opened.

4. In a compact case an upper portion a base portion confining a series of compact holding members and spring means attached to said compact holding members to normally keep said compact carrying members outside of theedges of the base and cover of said'case so that said cOmp'aCtCarrying members will come 'simultaneously into View 'when Jche kcover `ofl said lcase is opened.

5. In a compact case a base and a cover, said case holding a series of compact carryine` members situated vertically one over the otlielg and spring means attached to said compact carrying members so as to simultaneously bring said compact `carrying membersjinto View when the cover ofr said case is opened. l

In Atestimony whereof I aiiiXmy signature.
